1-Day Co Resolution Training $195

Presenter for this course only will be Nathan Witkin, Attorney and originator of the co resolution process.

Co Resolution is a revolutionary new process in the field of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). It involves two facilitators, acting as a team (and as a single ADR service) providing each disputant with a personal advocate but ensures that the advocates are cooperative with each other as they assist separate disputants to negotiate a settlement to their dispute. This training is recommended for attorneys who would like to offer disputants the option of using a non-adversarial process to resolve their conflict and for mediators who would like to expand their practice to include providing personal assistance to disputants at the negotiation table.

Participants will learn:

History and development of current dispute resolution systems

Theory and application of the Co Resolution Process (including how this process compares and contrasts to providing mediation or standard advocacy in an adversarial environment)

Skills and methods associated with serving as a conflict resolution coach

Nature of cooperative dynamics in psychology and game theory

Practical lessons learned from real world application of the co resolution process
